Some scrap yards buy them. You just have to check with them. And you should get pay as steel price. I'm lucky my scrap yard buys almost everything.

Isn't it just priced as shred? I don't waste my time with it either it goes right in the trash

Just want to encourage those watching this thinking of breaking down some tvs. Please weather you remove the yolk clips and pull off or just bash off with a hammer be careful and get the cover back on for your own safety.

Yep it depends on the TV model and year it was made. Sometimes older TVs have more copper, wires, and low grade boards. Sell everything that your yard will take. I will say from 3 to 5 bucks. Not a lot of money but more TVs you pick up the more the money increases. I love scrapping everything even if it is little like a "aluminum can". Yesterday when I was driving I saw a little TV and 10 boxes. I decided to stop and pick up the TV. Since I was out I decided to check out the boxes. I was thinking is only empty boxes and to my surprise there were lots of computer wires, hard drives and other computer parts. I loaded all the boxes and when I got home I separated all the trash and all the good stuff. When I took the scrap from that pile to the scrap yard I made 60 bucks thanks to that little TV.

Yes ferrite can be scrap. I scrap as much possible from items to gain the most profit. Ferrite has steel in it. Just take a magnet and find out by yourself. Happy Scrapping!!!!

I've been reading through the "tv yoke" threads, and this is the *very* question I was gonna ask.Yes ferrite can be scrap. I scrap as much possible from items to gain the most profit. Ferrite has steel in it. Just take a magnet and find out by yourself. Happy Scrapping!!!!
Thanks for the info, now I know what to do with my huge pickle jar full of ferrite!

although I didn't know the material was ferrite, i have always used it as weight for my "steel screws" bin and got .10/lb for it. now though its down to 8

Heck, I even keep the little round pieces of ferrite that are on some of the ends by the little circuit board in keyboards. It goes in my screw bucket.
It's funny, ever since I really started doing this my kids have wanted to help Daddy. So my son gets to take apart the CD/DVD/floppy drives and crush the aluminum cans. He gets to keep the aluminum can money. My daughter loves taking apart the keyboards. She can't wait until we have a full box of the plastic sheets with silver trace - she gets to keep that money. There's nothing like seeing the two of them on the living room floor, each with a little cordless drill, taking stuff apart. There's no arguing. I did have to buy a second little cordless screwgun.

Who do you sell the keyboard sheetz too? I have a whole box of them. Along with like 5 or 6 printers...so lazy sometimes.

I remember when someone on here blasted someone for saying they scrapped the ferrite, saying "it's just padding your buckets, because it cant be melted down"
My metal worker on the other side of my shop and i had a slow day. He has a homemade furnace thing (dont ask). We took a couple hunks of ferrite, threw it in, and left it. Came back at the end of the day and they were melted, but only a little bit. Not all the way. We obviously didnt/couldnt create the normal amount of heat it takes to fully melt steel. But after some research i figured out that all those ferrite chunks we find are something along the lines of "powdered" steel. Maybe i read it wrong, but that's the impression i got.

Gravy, you make money by not throwing recyclable stuff away. It all adds up.

The intention is good, no doubt. But when you consider how much you can make from one yolk, too much time is spent on it. You are loosing time and money that could be spent on other things. Thanks for the video though.

It's all good Sircrapalot. The had good intentions and we don't want to discourage him from future postings. He just might put something up we can use. You never know, he might have helped out a newby on how to remove copper from yoke who is not I to breaking a thing. Personally, I remove the copper much quicker without breaking stuff up from experience. But if I was new, it might have helped back then.Ironic = When a New Yorker tells someone else to be nice.
